  5. Lutnick flat out said they are doing this to automate more factories. More robots here, less people.

  7. I’ll go even one better. Democracy is collapsing under him!

  8. The turd age, where people paid a monkey and it shit in their house every day.

  10. possible for all to agree that Trump has single handedly collapsed the integrity of the economy…by that I mean the ability for the markets to want to, and be able to, invest and grow.

  13. >Of the five industry groups or “supersectors” that could be broadly considered “blue collar”—manufacturing, mining and logging, transportation and warehousing, utilities, and construction—only the latter saw an increase in September. Construction’s 19,000-job gain was also insufficient to offset the monthly loss of 25,300 jobs in transportation or manufacturing shedding a further 6,000.

    Tariffs kill imports. If ports have less shipments, they don’t need as many warehouse employees. Truckers have less cargo to move, so there are more layoffs.

  15. This is a gigantic political opening that Democrats could drive a truck through if they drop Schumer flavored bullshit and embrace progressive policy and messaging.

  16. How’s that feeling now? His voter base is seeing how little he cares if you starve and have now health care. Stop hitting the snooze bar and wake up

  17. The people responsible for these TREASONOUS numbers have been FIRED into the BIG BEAUTIFUL SUN.

    Next month the numbers will be HUGE. You’ll never seen anything like them. Manufacturing increased by 4 -5-6-90000%! But only to my BEAUTIFUL voters and not for the UGLY and VERY UNSMART democrats!

    Thank you for your attention to this matter!

  19. So you are telling me a rich man claiming to be a friend of the working class has completely fucked them over. Colour me shocked

  23. Blue collar jobs collapsing under Trump, AI to take white collar jobs. Guess we all going to just be unemployed and on Reddit.

  25. 9 times out of 10, the president gets too much credit and blame for the state of the economy. The government really doesn’t use the “economy be good” or “economy be bad” button as much as people think. But Trump’s whole platform is a recipe for short and long term economic pain: tarrifs, cutting government programs, cutting basic scientific research, picking private companies as winners and losers (aka corruption).

  28. Exactly what he campaigned on. Exactly what his supporters voted for.

  29. Where’s all the “Learn a trade” boys? Step right up.

  30. Who could accurately bid a big job right now with the inflation and random tariffs? How many companies would even consider expanding or remodeling when they’re simply trying to stay in business. If you’re getting your pink slip and or can’t find a job because you already received it, be sure to thanks a magat!

  31. Just as planned. No middle class. Just the rich and the poor.

  32. Blue collar jobs have been on the decline since Raegan.

  35. The rich and elite plan this out every time… and people just fall for it. It’s been almost 100 years since the start of the great depression where the income inequality was arguably at its worst in history in this country. We’re doing our damndest to get back to that on the 100 year anniversary. Rich are just consolidating more and more wealth, hoarding more, and racing to control AI so they can kill more jobs and profit more off those of us who still have jobs.

    Elon committed the biggest data breach in history via DOGE… got his government contracts. And he got all the personal data he could ever dream of…

    I don’t think any President has sold out this country more than Trump has. He probably has sold out this country more for profit than all of the Presidents in the past combined.

  36. Trumpy could not care less. Trumpy is living his best life, while he is still here.

    Trumpy is basically playing at being President for Life until he checks out. Personally raking in billions. Playing God with peoples lives.

    A MAGA controlled Congress is doing nothing to rein him in.

    A Conservative Supreme Court is doing nothing to rein him in.

    Our elected officials failed in every aspect of their responsibilities.

    Unbelievably, 77 plus million United States citizens voted for this nonsense.

  37. This isn’t news. This is an obvious consequence of re-electing Trump.

  38. >Reviving the blue-collar boom that Americans experienced during the first Trump term

    Was there a blue collar job boom under the first trump term?

  39. In case you haven’t heard before, there’s a class war and the rich are winning.
